The SEC Is Bad.

I guarantee the contract with Raycom contains a provision that states each conference team must be shown a minimum number of times.

It probably does, but that shouldn't prevent Raycom from having in-season flexibility on when to show everybody.

The more I see of the SEC, the more I can envision the league not winning a single NCAA Tournament game.

That may be a default prediction if no SEC teams make the dance other than the auto bid. Not very likely I admit, but can you imagine?

Mississippi State and Kentucky are providing further evidence of the league's ineptitude. The Bulldogs lead 8-0 with 14:40 to go in the first half.

If Patrick Patterson leaves UK after this season, I hope he gets a good deal on some Rosetta Stone CDs. He won't be making any money in an English speaking country.

Kentucky down 13 at the half and getting booed off the floor.

Not that it makes the SEC look any better, but Georgetown-Rutgers is just as ugly as State-UK.

My thought too. He's passive and undersized.

Winn on CNN/SI says:

7. The SEC is much worse than anyone expected it to be in the preseason. Part of the blame goes on underperforming powers (I'm looking at you, Tennessee and Kentucky). Some of it can be chalked up to bad luck or a cyclical downturn: Alabama fell apart when Richard Hendrix turned pro too early and Ronald Steele was hurt; Mississippi State crumbled when Jamont Gordon made a poor draft decision and Ben Hansbrough transferred to Notre Dame; Ole Miss' breakthrough season was derailed by early injuries to Chris Warren and Eniel Polynice. Instead of a highlight reel, the league's most-watched video is of the Rebels' coach saying to his arresting officer (after being accused of assault on Dec. 18 in Cincinnati): "I'm playing Louisville and Rick Pitino tomorrow. I was the UC head coach. I am going to be on national television. If I'm not standing there at 9 p.m. tomorrow, this is an international altercation."
While the league may earn the same number of NCAA tournament bids as the Pac-10, the current frontrunner, LSU, could be no higher than a five-seed due it its glaring lack of a quality out-of-conference victory. I pored over old tourney brackets and had to go all the way back to 1989 to find a season in which the SEC was in such bad shape: That year, it received five bids, all seeded in the 6-10 range, and all five teams lost in the first round. You'd think at least either the Wildcats, Vols, Gators, Tigers or Gamecocks is capable of making a surprise run to the second weekend, but their early matchups won't be easy.

LSU could easily go 14-2 in the league, but I want no part of a #12 mid-major with a big man in the middle. Xavier and Utah decimated us with their 7 footers.

I wonder if Ben Hansbrough is second guessing his move. Why did he transfer to ND? Didn't he get along with Stansbury?

A lot of players have transferred out of Miss. State in recent years. It happens all the time down there.
